I'm having problems with installing NWN. I bought the Diamond Edition, which includes 3 CDs (the original NWN), one DVD, with both expansions on it according to the label, 1 CD with the Kingmaker expansion (or whatever it is) and 1 CD with only the manuals on it.

Now I tried installing it with the ebuild in portage, but when it got to the point when I'm supposed to mount the SoU CD, I insert the DVD and the emerge process won't recognize it. I googled it, and did a forum search, and although I found a howto, I do not have the .zip files I'm supposed to have, plus, all these guides talk about one DVD, and nothing else. I tried this and this. I have a Data_shared.zip, but no Data_linux.zip and no Xp1 and Xp2.

I don't have Windows, so copying an installation over is out of the question. I could do it with wine, but if there is a native way, I'd prefer that.

The ebuilds in portage have never satisfied me for NWN, so I preffer to follow the instructions on the Bioware web site and maintain it by hand on my home. It works flawlessly. The only shinny thing I do is to pick the lisbsdl so file from my 32 bits libs to replace the one shipped into NWN (otherwise the NWN can lock the system sound and vice-versa.

All the expansions and extra modules work without a problem This makes also easier to install custom contents and modules._________________Gentoo Handbook | My website

I completely agree with this. It runs a lot slower from the ebuild than the normal Bioware install instructions on my box. Not sure why, maybe because my ~/.nwn is on a different disk than /opt/nwn , or maybe those nwmouse/movie things? I was getting a lot of stuttering music from the ebuild install because of this and had to move back to Bioware type install. I don't even have to switch from the bundled libSDL for it to sound perfect this way. Though I'll probably switch anyway now because of that lockup issue you mention.

It turned out I just had to set up GLX accelleration for my video card. I thought I already had, but it turns out I was still using the "nv" driver._________________Configuring a Firewall?
